Maggio warns Italy against complacency and eager to win the Serbia game: Serie A news
Napoli defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Maggio-c9098, is confident that Italy will not embarrass themselves in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Serbia and will go out to win.
Cesare Prandelli’s side have already sealed the top berth in the Group C and the games against Serbia and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Northern-Ireland-c2972 will just be a mere formality. Maggio has urged his teammates to show the desire and hunger to win and they
must not take the opposition lightly. The defender believes that the game will let them know where they stand as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Serbia-c3002 is the second best team in the group so far.
While talking to the reporters, Maggio said, “We do not want to underestimate Friday’s match with Serbia, but rather are eager to prove our worth and always give 100 per cent.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027, is
a serious doubt for the game.
The defender has insisted that his team must show their real character against Serbia and must not let their standards drop. The 29-year-old is delighted with his own performances and believes that he can play at the top level
for many more years.
“We cannot afford to be embarrassed on Friday, because we are Italy and everyone who steps on to the field wants to give their all.”
The former Fiorentina star rejected talks of his team winning the Scudetto in the ongoing season and believes that there are several other teams who are in contention to win it. Maggio is happy with his team’s start to the 2011/12
season and believes that they must perform consistently to hold any chance of winning the league.
“As for myself, I am happy that at the age of 29 I can still play at the top level. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 have beaten some big clubs, but it’s too early to talk about us as Scudetto contenders. It’s going to be very difficult to win the title.
I hope to renew my contract, as I’ve an idea in my head of ending my career wearing this jersey.”
Maggio has made 12 international appearances for Italy since making his debut in 2008.
